Answer 1

As far as I know, the stock Android 5.0.1 on your Nexus 5 doesn’t have any widget that lets you create a shortcut to a VPN profile. But, it does have a Settings shortcut 1 x 1 widget that lets you create a shortcut to the VPN settings, which save you a few steps every time you want to connect to the VPN network.

If you’re fine with the Settings shortcut approach, here’s how to add one to your Home screen:

1- Long tap an empty area on any Home screen. 2- Tap Widgets. 3- Find, tap and drag the Settings shortcut to your home screen. 

4- Select VPN, and you’re done. 

In addition to the answer above, I haven’t come across any reliable 3rd party app that lets you create VPN profile shortcuts.

If you know of a better way that lets you create a shortcut to a VPN profile, share it in the comments.
